The rise of the poor

Chapter 1800 Japanese pirates attack the city
The actions of the Japanese pirates were really blatant, and they made no secret of their intentions. It didn't take long for the Japanese pirates who were divided to arrive at the east gate, north gate, and northwest gate of Suzhou City one after another.

Last night, the Japanese pirates didn't do any work at all. They took out hundreds of simple ladders in one night, and the pirates had more than 30 ladders in front of each city gate.

Last night, the Zhejiang army monitored the rangers in the Japanese pirates' temporary camp, and did not find that the Japanese pirates felled a large number of trees. I don't know how they took out these more than 100 ladders.

The action of the Japanese pirates to attack the city was blatant. The rangers of the Zhejiang army who were monitoring the movement of the Japanese pirates on the main roads had already confirmed the movements of the Japanese pirates.

Outside the east gate.

The endless stream of Japanese pirates, carrying simple ladders, came as if black clouds were pressing down on the city.

The dark Japanese pirates, white Japanese swords, ridiculous but terrifying Tsukiyotou, ferocious faces, full of oppression.

"Fuck, it's the first time I saw so many Japanese pirates, it's a bit scary, my calves are shaking..."

"Didn't the Japanese pirates be killed by the Zhejiang army? How come there are so many people?"

"Fuck, the armor of the Japanese pirates looks like a ghost, and there are two long horns, it's really scary."

Some timid defenders on the east gate of Suzhou City saw the huge army of Japanese pirates below the city. Not only did they tremble, their calves trembled, their hands trembled so much that they could barely lift their knives.

"Shut up! What are you afraid of! No matter how many Japanese pirates there are in the city, they are nothing more than mobs. Think about the Zhejiang army, eight hundred bandits recruited, one thousand two hundred farmers who put down their hoes, but after a few months of practice, they beheaded Seven or eight thousand Japanese pirates! It is enough to prove that the group of Japanese pirates in front of us is a group of birds, the Zhejiang army can do it, there is no reason we can't do it!"

General Wang was sitting at the east gate, and when he saw the terrified bears of his soldiers, he couldn't help yelling and citing the example of the Zhejiang Army to boost the morale of his soldiers.

To be honest, he is still a little dissatisfied with the Zhejiang Army. How long has the Zhejiang Army been training, and they have achieved such great results.

In his opinion, the reason why the Zhejiang Army achieved such a brilliant victory yesterday was that apart from the sharp firearms of the Zhejiang Army and the fact that they planted a huge amount of explosives in the end to plot against the Japanese pirates, the quality of the Japanese pirates should not be very good.

The Zhejiang army can win a big victory!
There's no reason we can't!
At this moment, General Wang felt faintly excited, the time has come to make meritorious service! The time to get promoted and get rich has come!
Since this gang of Japanese pirates is not very good, isn’t that just the military exploits sent from heaven?!
Zhu Pingan offended Mr. Yan Ge back then, and was demoted to a small county in Jingnan as the magistrate of Zhima County. Isn't it because of a series of military exploits that he was able to make a comeback and become a fourth-rank official today?!
The brilliant military achievements made by the Zhejiang Army yesterday will surely help him go one step further and reach a higher level.

He can't let him eat the meat by himself. If he eats meat, we can share a piece. Besides, hehe, my appetite has always been good. One piece or two can't satisfy my appetite. This time I want to be full...

Outside the east gate, Xu Hai rode a tall horse, trotted the horse, circled the city gate twice from a distance, called his confidants, pointed to several positions on the city wall with his whip, and ordered them to attack the city. Order.

The Japanese pirates outside the North Gate and Northwest Gate were led by Chen Dong and Ma Ye respectively, and they all gave orders to attack the city one after another.

As for the Japanese pirate army in front of the Zhejiang army, they used their superiority in strength to surround the Zhejiang army's position from a distance, and sent more than a thousand Japanese pirates from the north and south to slowly push towards the Zhejiang army's position.

Four battlefields, the war is imminent.

Outside the east gate.

It is not easy for Japanese pirates to attack the city. The first obstacle they have to face is the moat. A moat outside Suzhou city is winding with gurgling water, protecting Suzhou city like a patron saint.

At this moment, the bridge over the moat has been demolished, leaving only two stone piles standing alone at the bridge head and tail.

The Japanese pirates who attacked the city came to the moat without haste. Hundreds of brave pirates ignored the cold water, took off their clothes, and jumped into the cold moat wearing only dirty white short-nosed pants.

"What are the Japanese pirates doing? Did they commit suicide by jumping into the river?" The defenders on the city were a little confused when they saw this scene.

"Hahaha, are they going to jump into the river to liven up the tense atmosphere?" Someone laughed.

"The Japanese pirates are going to build a bridge!" The experienced officers and soldiers shook their heads and corrected in a worried voice, "It is winter, the dry season, and the water level in the moat is not deep. The Japanese pirates can build a simple pontoon bridge."

"General, we can't just watch the Japanese pirates build the pontoon bridge. Before they build the bridge, let's open the door and send people to guard the shore to prevent arrows from building the bridge. If the Japanese pirates can't build the bridge, let's see how they attack the city. I would like to lead three hundred archers and two hundred sword shields out of the city, and I will not let the Japanese pirates build a pontoon bridge!"

Vice-General Liu saw that the Japanese pirates were going to build a pontoon bridge, so he quickly asked General Wang for his advice.

"No! At this time of dry season, the moat is not deep, and the Japanese pirates come across the sea, and their water quality is superb, just like these Japanese pirates who jumped into the moat, once the city gate is opened, the Japanese pirates may brave the cold to jump across the river at any time, and go straight to the city gate. We must not take this risk before we find out the quality of the Japanese pirates. If the Japanese pirates are brave and you lose, you will die in vain. If the city gate falls, you will be to blame for death!"

General Wang shook his head and rejected Vice General Liu's proposal.

Although he wanted to make meritorious service, he didn't want to take risks.

Therefore, the defenders on the city ignored the Japanese pirates who built the pontoon bridge outside the city, and watched the Japanese pirates build the pontoon bridge.

Japanese pirates on the shore pushed special tree trunks into the river, and these trunks were sharpened at one end.

The Japanese pirates in the river took over the trunk on the bank, put the sharp end down, and rammed it into the bottom of the river forcefully.

Tree trunks were erected in the river at a distance apart, from one end of the river bank to the other end of the river.

Then, the long tree trunks were pushed into the river again, and the Japanese pirates in the water tied them to the vertical tree trunks to form the skeleton of the pontoon bridge, then tied the crossbars, and put planks, branches and straw on them.

After a while, a simple pontoon bridge appeared on the moat.

The Japanese pirates followed suit and built three adjacent pontoon bridges in one go.

Then, the army of Japanese pirates who attacked the city stepped on the pontoon bridge and crossed the moat without haste.

"Kill it! You bastards, break through the city gate, and the gold, silver, jewels and girls are all yours!"

"Kill it!"

"Kill!"

After crossing the moat, a group of Japanese pirates rushed towards Suzhou City, shouting and screaming under the order of the big and small heads.

A ladder was also set up by Japanese pirates and rushed towards the city wall.

"Release the arrow! Release the arrow!"

"Don't worry about rocks and logs, throw them down for me! Smash these bastard Japanese pirates to death!"

"Siege crossbow, shoot! Don't shoot indiscriminately, you motherfucker, is a soldier worth a city defense crossbow? I aimed at the leaders of the Japanese pirates who are in command, they are only worth a city defense crossbow!"

General Liu was wearing armor, carrying a long knife, and under the protection of his own soldiers raising shields, he went back and forth on the city wall, shouting and commanding.
